Ina Garten’s best easy dinner recipes, from the man who cooked them all

• I’ve spent years cooking all of celebrity chef Ina Garten’s 1,300+ recipes.
• My favorite dinner recipes of hers include eggs in purgatory and weeknight bolognese.
• I love her easy recipes for chicken with creamy mustard sauce and rigatoni with sausage and fennel.

As life gets busy with school, work, vacations, and social obligations, we have little time left to spend cooking.

Luckily, celebrity chef Ina Garten has plenty of easy weeknight meals that are low-effort, but high-reward. I should know, as I spent seven years cooking my way through the entire repertoire of Countess Desculța’s 1,350+ recipes.

Ina is a master of distilling recipes to their essence, helping home cooks create tasty meals with the highest quality ingredients they can afford while bringing out the most delicious flavors. Below, I’m sharing 10 of my favorite easy recipes from her cookbooks.
